What is the purpose of Mime-Typen in PHP scripts?

Mime types in PHP scripts are used to specify the type of content being served by the server. This is important for browsers to correctly interpret and display the content. By setting the appropriate mime type, you ensure that the browser knows how to handle the content being sent from the server.

<?php
// Set the appropriate mime type for the content being served
header('Content-Type: application/json');
